Being Creative When Time is Scarce

from Keep the Flow

You don't lose time to laziness. You lose it to a series of small, completely defensible decisions... and if you're a creative person, you feel every minute of it.Every morning I do Wordle. Then I make an espresso and watch one Colbert monologue. Totally reasonable. But then Colbert went on break, YouTube suggested Kimmel, and I noticed something genuinely interesting: three different comedians, same news story, completely different angles. Almost like research. So I started watching all three. Every day. And then I'd wonder why I never had time for my creative work.This episode is about how time disappears: not in one dramatic theft, but in a series of small, completely defensible decisions. It's also about something stranger: what happens when you actually run out of time, and what that tells you about the conditions you've convinced yourself you need.🎧Check out my music: https://scottmclemore.bandcamp.com/🤟Join the Patreon community: https://patreon.com/scottmclemore📭 The free newsletter goes deeper into ideas like these: https://ktfpod.com Hosted on Acast.
